As our book Maus talks mostly about surviving the holocaust I thought about researching more deeply about that topic. The Holocaust  (from the Greek ὁλόκαυστος holókaustos: hólos, "whole" and kaustós, "burnt")was a genocide of approximately 6 million jews committed by the Nazi party. The Holocaust happened during the 1941 until 1945. Jews were targeted and murdered methodically.  In total, approximately 11 million people were killed, including approximately one million Jewish children.Of the nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust, approximately two-thirds were killed. Not only the Jews were targeted by Nazis As Nazi tyranny spread across Europe, the Germans and their collaborators persecuted and murdered millions of other people. Between two and three million Soviet prisoners of war were murdered or died of starvation, disease, neglect, or maltreatment. The Germans targeted the non-Jewish Polish intelligentsia for killing, and deported millions of Polish and Soviet civilians for forced labor in Germany or in occupied Poland, where these individuals worked and often died under deplorable conditions. From the earliest years of the Nazi regime, German authorities persecuted homosexuals and others whose behavior did not match prescribed social norms. German police officials targeted thousands of political opponents (including Communists, Socialists, and trade unionists) and religious dissidents (such as Jehovah's Witnesses). Many of these individuals died as a result of incarceration and maltreatment.
